Overview
The Purifier, finally activated during Broken Steel.
In this add-on pack, the player joins the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel to rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants, once and for all. The pack allows the Lone Wanderer to get to see the fruits of James' work; Project Purity's completion, and clean water flowing into the Potomac River for the first time in centuries.
Broken Steel's quest line is of the same length as the ones of Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt. Unlike these add-ons, in order to access the new story content from Broken Steel, the player has to have finished the main storyline from the base game.
In addition to extending the game to let players continue their adventures after the end of the main quest, the Broken Steel add-on raises the level cap to 30. The level cap expansion will take effect upon installation of the add-on, so players previously stalled at level 20 will once again accumulate XP, even if they haven't finished the main storyline.
Broken Steel also adds a couple of new side quests, most of which have to do with escorting freshly processed clean water across the Wasteland and protecting it from raiders. Broken Steel takes about five hours to complete and side missions could take up to an hour to finish.
The third add-on for Fallout 3 adds new enemies including albino radscorpions, feral ghoul reavers, super mutant overlords, and Enclave Hellfire troopers. These are equipped with new armor and weaponry that the player can acquire. Broken Steel also adds several new perks to cover the additional 10 levels as well as new encounters (see Broken Steel encounters).
The player's actions throughout Fallout 3 are woven into some of the quests in Broken Steel. For example, if the player decides to infect Project Purity with the modified FEV, it will affect how the Capital Wasteland looks as well as the interactions with the local inhabitants.
